Annexure IV

VLR Subscribers in the Wireless Segment

Home Location Register (HLR) is a central database that contains details ofeach mobile phone subscriber that is authorized to use the GSM core network.

The HLRs store details of every SIM card issued by the mobile phone operator.

Each SIM has a unique identifier called an International Mobile Subscriber

Identity (IMSI), which is the primary key to each HLR record. The HLR data is

stored for as long as a subscriber remains with the mobile phone operator.

HLR also manages the mobility of subscribers by means of updating their

position in administrative areas. It sends the subscriber data to a Visitor

Location Register (VLR).

Subscriber numbers reported by the service providers is the differencebetween the numbers of IMSI registered in service providers Home LocationRegister(HLR) and sum of other figures as given below:-

1 Total IMSI's in HLR (A)

2 Less: (B=a + b + c + d + e)

Visitor Location Register (VLR) is a temporary database of the subscribers

who have roamed into the particular area, which it serves. Each base station

in the network is served by exactly one VLR; hence a subscriber cannot be

present in more than one VLR at a time.

If subscriber is in active stage i.e. he is able to send/receive calls/SMSs he is

available both in HLR and VLR. However, it may be possible that the

subscriber is registered in HLR but not in VLR due to the reason that he is

either switched-off or moved out of coverage area, not reachable etc. In such

circumstances he will be available in HLR but not in VLR. This causes

difference between subscriber number reported by the service providers and

numbers available in VLR.

The VLR data calculated here is on the basis of active subscribers in VLR on

the date of Peak VLR of the particular month for which the data is being

collected. This data is to be taken from the switches having the purge time of

not more than 72 hours.
